Dead Herring VR

Dead Herring is a VR-Experience in which you are a detective, solving a murder case. You can analyse and combine hints by zooming into the microscopic level using a special tool.

The game follows the idea of using an affective gaming approach as a possibility to develop new settings with chemical contents for learning chemistry at school or at university.

It was developed by students from the Animation department at the University of Art and Design in Kassel in cooperation with the Chemistry department of the University of Kassel.
